Star Wars Fandex Deluxe Edition, also marketed as Star Wars Fandex Deluxe, is a fold-out "family field guide" covering subjects from the first six films of the Star Wars saga. Written by former Lucas Licensing editor Christopher Cerasi, it is part of the Fandex series by Workman Publishing[1] and was released on November 6, 2008.[1]
The guide is composed of 75 double-sided reference cards between two cover cards, and is filled with promotional photos and film stills from Lucasfilm.[2]
Publisher's summary
Aren't we lucky! Star Wars Fandex Deluxe is a perfect meeting of format and content, bringing all the virtues of Fandex to the supergalactic saga of our times, delivering an obsessive deck for the obsessive fan (and the perfect cheat sheet for parents who want to know what their kids are talking about). Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke Skywalker. Han Solo and Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, Darth Sidious, Boba Fett, Qui-Gon Jinn, and, of course, Yoda, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Jabba the Hutt—in die-cut card after die-cut card, Star Wars Fandex Deluxe celebrates the pantheon of immortals from the Star Wars galaxy.
Star Wars Fandex Deluxe is authorized by and written in close collaboration with Lucasfilm. This deluxe title comprises 75 die-cut cards, 50 percent more than standard Fandex, and it includes not only the beloved characters, but also starships, droids, gadgets, and more. And the text is packed with fascinating information. Get to know the other Jedi Knights, like Plo Koon and Shaak Ti. The difference between a clone trooper and a stormtrooper. The architects of the Death Star. Plus the secret of Darth Vader’s paternal lineage, why there can be only two Sith Lords at any given time, and much more. It's the essential Fandex for every Star Wars buff.[1]
Continuity
- The Fandex states that Darth Maul's first encounter with the Jedi was when facing Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine. However, Maul had faced other Jedi before, such as Darsha Assant.
- It states that a rogue Jedi started the Sith, when it was actually a group of Dark Jedi.
- It claims that when Order 66 was executed, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi were the last of the Jedi who survived the Great Jedi Purge when there were actually other survivors, such as Rahm Kota. The Fandex even contradicts itself by later stating that Shaak Ti also survived.
- Although it correctly states that General Grievous was taken to Geonosis, it falsely says he was operated upon by Geonosian scientists, although in reality it was droids. Later, it states that Anakin Skywalker's burnt body was taken to Geonosis, but it was actually Coruscant. It says the same thing happened to him as General Grievous, when they were both operated on by droids and not Geonosians.
